If you find it morally objectionable — and many users/creators do — Spotify’s own position is: “We’re not going to pull it.” So you’ll need to decide whether to tolerate it or switch services.

For what it's worth, this was also the point where Franklin began to re-think slavery. For him the principles at stake really were universal. By the end of his life he was a vocal abolitionist.

Franklin quickly understood that his neutrality had been wrong. Within a year he returned to Philadelphia (narrowly avoiding arrest) fully committed to Independence.

He was made to stand - not sit - before the Lords for several hours while he was berated and humiliated. His learning, reasoning, and wit couldn't save him, nor could his well-earned reputation as a loyal Englishman.

Franklin was one of the most famous men in the world, a legendary scientist and philosopher with honorary degrees from Oxford and St. Andrews. People called him "Dr. Franklin" out of respect. He was also, obviously, a prominent politician.

You can imagine how that went. Samuel Adams (among others) hated Hutchinson and published them at once. It created a political firestorm which led straight back to Franklin. He was called before the Lords-in-Council to answer for it.

He wanted to quell unrest at home - smear Hutchinson while showing colonists that London supposedly had their best interests at heart. So he sent the letters back to Massachusetts with instructions they should be leaked but not published.

Whately died in 1772. Fairly soon after the Hutchinson Letters were leaked to Benjamin Franklin, who served in London as agent for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Georgia. In them Franklin saw an opportunity to thread a needle.

Hutchinson was appointed Royal Governor of Massachusetts in 1770. Over the next two years he regularly wrote to Thomas Whately, an MP in London close to the Prime Minister. The letters made him look very bad indeed - arrogant, autocratic, dismissive of the assembly and citizens.

I'm going to talk about the Hutchinson Letters Affair, because it's an important episode that's not often taught in schools, and I think it's instructive.

"No Kings" illustrates the uncomfortable truth about US politics: That the > 50% of white US people that want to turn the US into a white ethnostate (their words) is a lot of people. But the > 40% of white US people that don't want this, plus > 50% of brown people and > 90% of Black people, is more.

lol “No Kings” is such brilliant branding because Trump’s people are such inveterate reactionary shitposters that their only reaction is, can possibly be, “oh him being a king triggers you? Then yeah he’s a king, he should be the king forever.”
